Givry 1er cru Crausot 2013
Reduction presently flattens the nose though there is good freshness and plenty of vibrancy to the texturally attractive medium-bodied flavors that possess fine detail and almost painful intensity. I like the refreshing and slightly saline character of the backend and while youthfully awkward today this should be quite good.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
